Sometimes it seems life asks us to bear the unbearable. A heartbreaking loss, difficult transition, illness of yourself or loved one, the lack of anything that might make your life meaningful and pleasurable—these are some of the issues I respond to and can help with. If you’re suffering or your life lacks purpose look at my website and, if you feel a connection, please reach out. My fee is reasonable. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to do it alone. Psychoanalytic work can be transformative.
I work online and am kink and LGBTQ friendly. I offer both psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy, which means that I practice a unique form of listening that is attuned to all the dimensions of your speech. I’m especially interested in working with trauma in all its manifestations and specialize in understanding the myriad complexities trauma presents.
Every treatment is unique and my approach is aligned with you and your wishes. I offer a space where you can ask and find answers to the question of who you are and what it is you want, and don’t want.
